Minutes of Work Session of Council of Ogden City, Utah, January 17, 2017 Page Minutes of the Work Session of the Ogden City Council held on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 at 4:15 p.m., in the Council Work Room located on the third floor of the Municipal Building, 2549 Washington Boulevard, Ogden City, Weber County, Utah. Present: Chair Marcia L. White Vice Chair Richard A. Hyer Council members Bart E. Blair (arrived at 4:27 p.m.) Neil K. Garner (arrived at 4:23 p.m.) Luiz Lopez Ben Nadolski (arrived at 4:23 p.m.) Doug Stephens Council Executive Director Bill Cook Council Policy Analyst Glenn Symes Council Policy Analyst Amy Sue Mabey Communications Manager Brittany Griffin Also present: Chief Administrative Officer Mark Johnson Community and Economic Development Director Tom Christopulos Planning Manager Greg Montgomery Management Services Director David G. Buxton Deputy Recorder Julia LaSeure The purpose of the Work Session is to discuss the Weber State University 10-year plan; discuss the FY2018-22 Capital Improvements Plan; hear Council member comments; and discuss Council business. Weber State University 10-year Plan Brad Mortensen, Vice President of University Advancement, and Mark Halverson, Director of Campus Planning and Construction, showed a PowerPoint presentation to provide the Council with information regarding the Weber State University (WSU) 10-Year Plan. The Master Plan for the University was updated last in 2004 and most of the goals of that Plan have been accomplished. It is now time to update the Plan, which is currently preliminary in nature. The update includes a large element of donor funded athletic modifications, a science and lecture core, a residential village, and a gateway area on the north end of the campus. The north gateway includes renovating and renaming the social sciences building “Lindquist Hall”, 184 additional parking spaces, incorporation of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, and an improved plaza area. There was brief discussion regarding the building renovation plans, timeline, and funding sources. Mr. Halverson explained that three new buildings are planned for the science and lecture core for a total increased square footage of up to 258,700 depending upon the number of floors included in the buildings. Parking accommodations in the core will also increase by 27. He reviewed a rendering of the Tracy Hall science and testing center, which opened in the fall semester of 2016. Students and faculty are enjoying the building and its offerings. There was general discussion of the proposed construction projects with a focus on walkability of the campus, use of the campus bike program, and sustainable or ‘green’ construction methods. Mr. Halverson discussed the athletic modifications referred to as the football cluster and Skyline Drive improvements. He stated that investigation is underway to determine whether there are viable options for constructing additional parking accommodations on Skyline Drive. Improvements in the area include:  213 additional parking spaces  improvements to the loop road connecting 41st Street to Taylor Avenue  an 8,600 square foot presidential residence  the addition of a game day tailgating plaza  the addition of a 15,000 square foot football center  a 3,800 square foot outdoor center  removal of the track  lowering the football field  increasing the size of the seating area inside the football stadium Mr. Halverson reported similar stadium improvements were made at Utah State University and it brings the fans much closer to the action while allowing for parking expansion. He noted WSU has acquired four homes on Birch Street and discussions are underway regarding working with the City to close that street to allow for additional expansion of the parking footprint in the area. He reviewed a photo of the “Stadium House”, a facility made available for athletic team meetings and student athlete tutoring. He then discussed the residential village component of the Master Plan. He identified the location of University Village on the south side of the Dee Events Center and Wildcat Village. This is the newest housing area on campus and was completed within the past few years. He noted the University Village buildings were built for the 2002 Winter Olympics and they were not built to the highest standard. WSU is hopeful they will last through the bond term so all associated debt can be paid off before they are torn down and replaced by 50-year facilities that will be closer to campus. He mentioned this plan would remove another playfield and parking accommodations, but would be an ideal environment for student housing. The total proposed square footage is 298,000 for a three-story building which would provide 880 additional beds. Parking accommodations will also increase by 253 spaces, but nine bus spaces would be eliminated. Mr. Halverson then talked about the athletics cluster plans, which include the addition of two practice basketball courts, indoor tennis courts, an outdoor practice field, track and field locker rooms, a track and field facility, and incorporation of the BRT line through the area. He noted that Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has indicated they may be interested in locating an intermodal hub within the athletics cluster and WSU is open to considering that amenity for the campus. Council member Stephens asked about the total WSU student population. Mr. Mortensen replied the total enrollment including on and off campus is approximately 27,000. There was discussion centering on the proposed BRT route through the campus and Mr. Halverson stated that the route has not yet been finalized by UTA. One lane will be dedicated to the route, but other design elements are yet to be determined. Mr. Halverson then discussed the WSU Community Outreach Center on 26th Street and Monroe Boulevard. Two structures formerly located on the site have been demolished and contaminated soils have been remediated, monitoring of the soils conditions is still underway. Fundraising efforts for development of the Center continue. A design architect is working on the schematic design of the building, which will include a children’s center, computer lab, office space, outdoor space, large kitchen area, and a welcoming lobby. The site was chosen as it is located in the heart of the area that WSU is interested in serving. Mr. Halverson briefly reviewed proposed improvements to the Davis Campus, which include expansion of the solar power system at the eight- acre site. Additional improvements include addition of a campus loop or walking/jogging trail, campus and community outdoor space, bio swales and walkways added to improve permeability/storm water handling and to visually break up the large lot, a pond and retention basin, and a tree lined boulevard. He concluded that WSU has also purchased ten acres of property in Hooper, Utah to allow for future construction of a continuing education facility that could be easily accessed via the West Davis Corridor extension. Chair White thanked Mr. Mortensen and Mr. Halverson for the information provided and indicated that the City looks forward to working with WSU as they proceed with implementation of the Plan. Agenda Review Chair White briefly reviewed the items listed on the agenda for the meeting scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. FY2018-2022 Capital Improvements Plan Council Policy Analyst Symes made a PowerPoint presentation to provide the Council with a brief introduction to the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the Fiscal Years (FY) 2018-2022. He reviewed the background and objectives of the CIP as follows: “The plan is intended for the scheduling, financing, and construction of capital improvements to be undertaken by the city in the upcoming fiscal year and projected to be undertaken in the following four (4) fiscal years.” CIP projects include projects exceeding $30,000 that add to the City’s “physical plant”, projects exceeding $30,000 for major rehabilitation or reconstruction of the physical plant, projects resulting in the acquisition or long term lease of land, and certain feasibility studies and investigations relating to CIP projects. CIP funding sources include:  General Fund (includes BDO Lease Revenue)  Federal and State Grants  B & C Road Funds (gas taxes and other state allocations)  Citizen Participation  Enterprise Funds (e.g. Water, Sewer, Storm Sewer Utilities)  Bonds  Other (RAMP and other grants, partnerships, fundraisers) Mr. Symes summarized the purpose of the CIP plan and process, noting it identifies the City’s capital improvement needs, establishes long-term goals and creates a plan for capital investment, ensures capital expenditures are consistent with the General Plan, informs the budget and sets priorities for capital investments, and reflects the values and goals of the City – both of the Administration and City Council. He reported the proposed five-year CIP includes 65 General Fund CIP projects, seven Enterprise Utility Fund CIP projects, four RAMP Grant Fund CIP projects, 28 new projects added for the FY2018-2022 plan, and Administration’s rankings by fund category. The total for all projects included in the Plan is approximately $219,149,561. He then reviewed charts providing a breakdown of projects by Department in the General Fund as well the Enterprise Funds. He also provided a breakdown of funding sources for FY2018 as follows:  General Fund - $10,785,440  Federal Grants - $2,205,000  State Grants - $186,250  B & C Road Funds - $237,260  Enterprise Funds - $4,705,000  Other - $28,731,350 (WACOG, other possible grants) Mr. Symes noted the total funding for FY2018 projects is $46,850,300 and reviewed City Administration’s top ten ranked CIP projects for FY2018. He indicated three of the ten projects relate to East Central and/or Quality Neighborhoods programming. Six other projects are on-going general improvement or system replacement projects, such as sidewalks, streets, parks, facilities, or golf course projects. The Information Technology (IT) Disaster Recovery Location project is the final project of the ten. The total estimated cost for the ten projects is $4,128,090 or 38 percent of the CIP General Fund total for FY2018 and $2,042,010 of other funding sources. He reviewed Council priorities that have been identified throughout budget discussions with individual Council members, including sidewalk repair and maintenance and a long-term infrastructure plan, the Mt. Lewis Park project, Bicycle Master Plan implementation, and development of an indoor recreation facility. He added other items of interest mentioned by the Council in the past that are included in the CIP include:  Union Station Renovation and Asbestos Remediation  Lester Park Improvements  Marshall White Center Improvements  36-inch Transmission Line Replacement  Pineview Wellfield Property Acquisition  Golf Course Irrigation Improvements He indicated the next steps in adoption of the CIP include:  continued review of the document in preparation for Department presentations on February 14, 2017  further discussion and ranking of the Council’s top ten projects in February  a public hearing scheduled for March 21, 2017  adoption of the Plan to inform the budget that will be presented to the Council in May There was general discussion regarding some of the Council project priorities that have been included in the CIP. Mr. Symes indicated he will inform City Administration of the projects that the Council would like additional consideration or discussion in order for Department Directors to be prepared for more detailed discussion on February 14, 2017. The meeting recessed at 5:29 p.m. and reconvened at 5:33 p.m. Council member Comments Chair White stated that it was very embarrassing tonight to have two members of the community in attendance and made to wait for a quorum of the Council members to arrive so the meeting could begin. She stated she understands it can be difficult to make arrangements to arrive at the meeting on time, but more clear communication is needed among the Council in order to determine when a quorum of members will or will not be in attendance or on time for the beginning of a meeting. Council member Lopez apologized for being late and for not informing the Council or Council staff of that issue. Vice Chair Hyer stated he is hopeful that pushing the start time of the work session to 4:00 p.m. will help address the issue. Council member Nadolski mentioned each member of the Council also has private employment and sometimes it may be necessary to prioritize that employment over their Council service, but he apologized for being unable to be present at the beginning of today’s meeting. The Council discussed various issues that may be considered by the State Legislature in their 2017 session. Council member Stephens indicated he plans to track various pieces of legislation, including any bill related to funding of the interchange at 24th Street and Interstate 15. Council member Garner provided the Council with a report regarding work underway to evaluate the current homeless population in the community. Many volunteers participate in the project and the data is used to evaluate the services and resources available to homeless individuals. Council member Blair reported he has received more comments regarding potholes throughout the City in the past week than any other year as a Council member. He mentioned prominent members of the community who have recently passed away and asked that Council staff coordinate recognition of those individuals. Council member Lopez asked about the logic behind the amendment to the Council Norms document that would prohibit a resident from playing a video, song, or using a PowerPoint presentation during the public comment portion of the meeting. He asked if the intent is to encourage an individual to share their own thoughts rather than the thoughts of others. Ms. Mabey responded that is the purpose of the amendment. She noted that someone can make a request to be on the agenda in order to share a video with the Council, but that type of presentation would not be appropriate during public comments if the amendment is approved. Chair White reported that Weber Housing Authority resources cannot be used in Ogden City since the City has its own housing authority, but the entity has an emergency home repair program available to residents throughout Weber County. She stated that she attended the Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast and the City Council and Council Executive Director Cook were awarded the Drum Major Award given by the Martin Luther King, Jr. Human Rights Commission. She stated she would like the award to be presented during a future Council business meeting to recognize the work done by the City to implement the Diversity Charter. She stated it was humbling to receive the award, especially given that there were others in attendance that have done more for human rights than the City. Mr. Cook mentioned it is important to note that the Ogden City Council is the only City Council that has ever received the award. Discussion centered on the importance of the award and the work done by the Council, Council staff, and City Administration relative to the Diversity Charter. Council Business Council Calendar: Mr. Cook noted that City Administration has informed Council staff that it is necessary to reschedule the planned trip to Boise, Idaho in order to accommodate the schedules of representatives of other entities that will be in attendance. He noted he will coordinate the rescheduling of that event with the entire Council. The meeting adjourned at 5:58 p.m. ________________________________________ JULIA M. LASEURE, MMC DEPUTY CITY RECORDER ________________________________________ MARCIA L. WHITE, CHAIR APPROVED: July 11, 2017 Minutes of Regular Meeting of Council of Ogden City, Utah, January 17, 2017 Page Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Ogden City Council held on Tuesday, January 17, 2017 at 6:04 p.m., in the Council Chambers on the third floor of the Municipal Building, 2549 Washington Boulevard, Ogden City, Weber County, Utah. Present: Chair Marcia L. White Vice Chair Richard A. Hyer Council members Bart E. Blair Neil K. Garner Luis Lopez Ben Nadolski Doug Stephens Council Executive Director Bill Cook Council Policy Analyst Glenn Symes Council Policy Analyst Amy Sue Mabey Communications Manager Brittany Griffin Also present: Mayor Michael P. Caldwell Chief Administrative Officer Mark Johnson Management Services Director David G. Buxton Management Services Deputy Director Shawn Choate Deputy Recorder Julia LaSeure At the request of the Chair, all present stood and recited the Pledge of Allegiance led by Boy Scout Troop 465 Senior Patrol Leader, Jackson Johnson. Vice Chair Hyer announced that Boy Scout Troops 465 and 645 were in attendance this evening. A moment of silence was observed. Presentation by Steven Ballard regarding the Oportunidad Program and upcoming Dining for Dollars event Steven Ballard thanked the Council for the opportunity to address them regarding a Weber State University (WSU) program known as Oportunidad. He feels the program is well aligned with the goals and mission of the City Council as well as the recently created Diversity Charter. He stated the program is chaired mostly by employees of various WSU Departments who provide mentoring to first generation college students from an underserved demographic. The goal of the program is to increase diversity in higher education. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to get more students enrolled in the program. Many of the target students are not eligible for federal financial aid, which is a significant barrier to them having access to higher education. The program is seeking donations or contributions from private businesses or individuals in order to offer resources that cannot be made available by WSU. One way to provide funding to the program is the Dining for Dollars event. Dining for Dollars is a scholarship program in which all sales from Sonora Grill restaurant during the event are donated to the program and an anonymous donor matches that donation. Last year the event raised $12,000, which was doubled by the private match; over the past four years, the event has contributed approximately $96,000. This facilitates the support of twenty students per year in the Oportunidad Program. He noted that across the State of Utah approximately 35,000 students graduate from high school and are part of the demographic targeted by the Program, but the event only generates enough money to support twenty of them. Many of the students that have participated in the Program are Ogden High School graduates and the vast majority are from Weber County. He stated he simply wanted the Council and Administration to be aware of the event as well as the Program so that they can aid in recruiting board members or private donors that could help support Oportunidad in some way. Mr. Ballard indicated this year the Dining for Dollars event is February 8, 2017 from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and he is working with Ogden City Administration to offer a special time slot for City employees. He mentioned that meal prices for the day are set at $12.00 and reiterated that 100 percent of sales are donated to the Program. Council Executive Director Cook asked if it is possible for patrons of the restaurant to donate more than $12. Mr. Ballard answered yes and added there will be private donation forms available to patrons when they visit the restaurant. He mentioned that most servers working at the restaurant on that day contribute their tips to the program and gift card sales or any catering sales are included in the donation amount as well. Council member Nadolski stated he and his wife love Sonora Grill and have remained loyal customers because of the service Mr. Ballard and his wife provide to the community. Council member Lopez echoed Council member Nadolski’s comments and added that he attended a meeting at WSU earlier today during which the Oportunidad Program and Dining for Dollars event were discussed. He mentioned there was discussion of another restaurant being approached to gauge their willingness to replicate the event in their store and the request was refused. He stated he understands it can be very difficult for a restaurant to donate 100 percent of their sales for a given day and he wanted Mr. Ballard to know that the service he provides is making a great impact on many lives. Mayor Caldwell quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘what are you doing for others?’” He agreed with Council member Nadolski’s sentiments about the great service that Mr. Ballard and his wife provide to the Ogden community and noted he is personally grateful for that effort, which sets a great example for others. Approval of Minutes Council member Garner stated he had reviewed the minutes of the Special Meeting of September 13, 2016 and found them to be accurate to the best of his recollection. Council member Nadolski stated he had reviewed the minutes of the Joint Work Session of September 21, 2016 and found them to be accurate to the best of his recollection. Council member Lopez stated he had reviewed the minutes of the Joint Work Session of September 27, 2016 and found them to be accurate to the best of his recollection. Council member Blair stated he had reviewed the minutes of the Regular Meeting of September 27, 2016 and found them to be accurate to the best of his recollection. Council member Stephens stated he had reviewed the minutes of the Joint Work Session of October 25, 2016 and found them to be accurate to the best of his recollection. COUNCIL MEMBER STEPHENS THEN MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS PRESENTED. MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER LOPEZ, ALL VOTING AYE.

MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER BLAIR, ALL VOTING AYE. Resolution 2017-2 approving modifications to Council Rules of Procedure and Council Norms A memo from Council staff came before the Council to consider a resolution approving modifications to Council Rules of Procedure and Council Norms. The memo stated the Council Rules of Procedure outline the Council’s rules for conducting meetings and addressing other procedural issues. The Council Norms set forth the Council’s purpose, vision, goals, priorities, expectations, relationships, and how the Council conducts its day-to-day business. From time to time, the Council updates these documents to reflect changes in policy or to align with changes in internal or external processes. The proposed changes to the Council Norms were on a previous agenda for consideration; however, during the work session, the Council discussed adjusting the start time for work sessions from 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. to accommodate Council members’ schedules. As a result, the item was pulled from the agenda with direction to make the additional modifications to the Norms and to modify the Council Rules of Procedure to reflect the revised work session start time. The memo explained the proposed modifications to the Council Norms are as follows:  Modifies the start time for work sessions from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and modifies the end time for work sessions from 5:30 p.m. to 5:55 p.m.;  Clarifies that organizations or individuals supporting or opposing political campaigns or ballot measures will not be placed on an agenda;  Establishes guidelines for presentation content that are consistent with other media requirements of the City (e.g., no profane language or content, no content that perpetuates discrimination, no sexual content, no solicitations, etc.)  Clarifies that the public comment period is an opportunity to address the Council and that due to time constrains no media presentations are allowed;  Establishes a clothing stipend to allow Council members to purchase clothing and other items that bear the new City logo. Council Policy Analyst Mabey summarized the memo and thanked the Council for their consideration of the proposed modifications to Council Rules of Procedure and Council Norms. Chair White introduced in writing proposed resolution 2017-2, entitled: “A resolution of the Ogden City Council approving modifications to Council Rules of Procedure and Council Norms.” COUNCIL MEMBER BLAIR MOVED THE RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED, AND THE CHAIR BE AUTHORIZED TO SIGN THE SAME. MOTION WAS SECONDED BY VICE CHAIR HYER, WITH THE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL VOTE: VOTING AYE – COUNCIL MEMBERS BLAIR, GARNER, LOPEZ, NADOLSKI, STEPHENS, VICE CHAIR HYER, AND CHAIR WHITE. VOTING NO – NONE. Public Comments Wilson Tolman, 425 Canyon Road, asked why the Council did not give the public an opportunity to speak to Resolution 2017-2, which gives each Council member the opportunity to spend $150 of City money on themselves each year. He stated that City Council work sessions and regular/special meetings are public meetings and he expects all Council members to be in attendance for those meetings. He expects that Chair White will manage meetings efficiently and prevent delays, but to provide an adequate break between meetings for the public to eat dinner. He stated that approximately three weeks ago there was concern expressed regarding a certain law. The City Attorney addressed that concern, but he is of the belief that one cannot serve two masters. He believes the City Attorney addressed the matter correctly, but not appropriately. The issue relates to grandfathering existing land uses upon adoption of a new land use regulation. He stated he addressed this concern in a letter that he sent to the City Council. He specifically addressed the fact that during discussion of a new land use regulation, the Council did not discuss the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution has an amendment that declares all rights not designated to the Federal Government, or prohibited, belong to the people and the State. There was no need for a law to grandfather an existing use for people who were exercising their rights under the Constitution of the United States of America. He indicated he is also concerned about appointed public officials making judgements or rules that are applied and that the City Council are held to. Elected officials who represent the people should make such rules. Vice Chair Hyer asked that Mr. Cook respond to Mr. Tolman’s comment regarding the stipend given to each Council member for the purchase of clothing items carrying the City’s brand. Mr. Cook explained that the City Council can accept public input for any item included on a meeting agenda, but there is no requirement to allow for public input when considering adjustments to Council Rules of Procedure and Council Norms. Mayor Comments Mayor Caldwell congratulated the City Council and Mr. Cook for receiving the Drum Major Award at the Martin Luther King, Jr. event held yesterday. The Award is a reflection of the commitment to diversity issues. Council member Comments Council member Stephens stated that he recently witnessed the administration of the oath of office to three new Police Officers. The Officers will enter the Police Academy before beginning work with the Department. He asked if there is a phone number available for citizens to call to report issues such as potholes throughout the City. Mayor Caldwell replied that citizens could call the general information line or the Public Services Department to report such issues. Council member Nadolski thanked Mr. Tolman for his comments and indicated that he has wondered about the rules for accepting public input for certain agenda items considered by the Council. Vice Chair Hyer stated, regarding the Drum Major Award, while it is a great honor, it overlooked Administration. There were a lot of people involved and he asked the Mayor to pass on the appreciation. Consideration of adjourning into a Closed Executive Session At this time, the Council gave consideration of adjourning into a Closed Executive Session pursuant to one or more of the provisions of Section 52-4-205(1) of the Open and Public Meetings Law: a.
